<p>Hello.</p>
<p>I just want to make the kind people here aware of the ongoing
harassment against me by certain parties.<br>
This now was forward to me by the CEO of MOD Devices, a company I
work for at the moment.</p>
<p>(Some content in Portuguese, as both me and Gianfranco speak that
language).</p>
<p>While NON remains offline, me and all others that do Linux audio
development have been quietly minding our business.<br>
I do not know who the sender is, but surely this is not okay.</p>
<p>I am posting this here since there are even links to this very
mailing list on the original email.<br>
And it is relevant to the story anyway.</p>

Subject: MOD Devices involved in the recent Linux Audio
scandal?<br>

<div>Gianfranco,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm sure you're aware of the disgraceful actions of
your employee and agent Filipe Ceolho with regards to
exploitation of Linux Audio developers.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>First he took control of LinuxAudio.org and the
critical JACK project under somewhat suspicious
circumstances and more recently he took control over the
Non DAW project via aggressive tactics of harassment,
slander, deception, and abuse of power at his role in
the Linux Audio Consortium (which he claims to be the
sole representative of, as a dictator, without the
consent of the other members of the Consortium).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is what the author of the Non project had to say
about it:</div>

<div>Here is a recent discussion on the LAC mailing list

about it:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>Given the fact that Filipe has leveraged his
employment at MOD Devices to legitimize his claim to
power and justify his actions, how do you, as the CEO of
Mod Devices feel about this?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>MOD Devices, in particular appears to be a company
whose entire business model is based on appropriating
the work of open source software developers without
offering them compensation. To the casual observer, it
seems that Filipe Coelho may be a plant/infiltrator put
in place to enable MOD Devices to take control over all
the critical subsystems in the Linux Audio space
(presumably in order to generate profit and/or inhibit
competition).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Perhaps there are some journalists who might be
interested in putting these developments before a wider
audience... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It seems like MOD Devices thinks they can beat
Behringer at their own game, but what will happen to
your company when Behringer decides to out-Behringer
you?<br>
